WAITROSE says it plans to donate unsold food to charity.

Questions about the supermarket's policy on stock disposal were raised after reports that large amounts of food were thrown away on Christmas Eve.

The supermarket yesterday announced that it hoped to introduce a policy of giving it to help local causes.

'As the stores are still relatively new in the Channel Islands we have not yet made arrangements to make charitable donations,' it said. 'As part of our waste strategy, our aim is to divert all produce that is unsuitable for sale from landfill by the end of 2012. '
